  • IGI Global Preparing Agriculture and Agriscience Educators for the Classroom

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe preparation of school-based agriculture teachers has been a part of public education for over 100 years. However, there is a lack of texts available that address the components of teacher education in agriculture including teacher preparation and related activities. Further study that goes beyond concepts to include practice and applications is required in order to further develop educators in this sector. Preparing Agriculture and Agriscience Educators for the Classroom provides an up-to-date consideration of the best practices for developing and enhancing a complete teacher preparation program and highlights and showcases concepts and applications. It is a mainstay for teacher education and teacher preparation in agriculture and is applicable anywhere in the world where teaching agriculture exists. Covering a range of topics such as field experiences and student learning, this reference work is ideal for researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians, administrators, instructors, and students.
